So how can you practice self-care the smart way while
still effectively running your business?

Running your own business means working,
a lot--but also knowing when and how to give yourself a
break.It’s a very common one for entrepreneurs. Almost
half of all business owners put in more than 50 hours per
week, and 82 percent work more than 40 hours.

According to a poll, less than half of the founders
surveyed were putting in those hours happily or
enthusiastically. Instead, their motivations ranged from
believing their role was indispensable to fear of failure.

This isn’t a good long-term business strategy. The survey
also found the small-business owners who regularly
worked excessive hours said they experienced
impatience, insomnia, forgetfulness, mood swings
and bursts of temper.
